    Could I please re-join this year.

    Last year resulted in being a huge wash out financially for me, but I'm really hoping to get back on track again in 2013.

    My number was 1585 (I think)

  • hope everyone had a lovely Christmas:)

    well, i'm really pleased with myself because i honestly didn't think i'd manage to put anything in my pot before Christmas but i've been managing to put some change away every day, only pennies some days but at the end of each week i've emptied all the change from my purse in and ooh it's feeling really good. so sad but i take my time putting in my coins and love the clunky noise they make as they hit other coins now.

    i got my kids a poundshop tin for Christmas and they are all really excited by them and have added to their pots too.

    it's really filled them with possibilities and my, what plans they have when they fill their pots. it's really given them something to aim for and dream of so that's turned out to be a really lovely gift too i think.

    thankyou all for the inspiration x
    mmm..... these strawberries make my breath happy mum ds

    On a strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day

  • Hello everyone,

    I would really love to join this challenge please! I have been doing this kind of thing since Jan. A couple of months before OH and I got engaged he bought me a 'wedding fund' sealed tin, which I nearly filled within about 5months. When I opened it there was about £300 in, which got banked in a high interest account for the wedding fund! I started again with a couple more tins and have been trying to put change in since. OH has another tin which he puts £1 and £2s in, but I might convince him to combine them all together.

    I think I'll open the pots we have when we get back from the in laws on the 1st Jan, bank them and start afresh. As we are saving for the wedding which is in July 2013, I think I'll probably aim to open it on June 1st 2013 so we can use it to pay things off!

    Sorry if I'm being a pain, feel free to tell me where to go if I'm causing issues!!!

  • hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas. I had a bitter sweet one, one of my cats has a heart problem and he has been in the vets being treated for heart failure. He is home now and in a cage in a bedroom because he has to be kept quiet to let his heart muscle to recover as much as possible. The vet said if he was a human he would be on the transplant list :( Prayers needed guys!
    Any way I've potted a few coins over the last few days which is good. Love reading all the posts on here.
